Just ran across this story on Pravda. Very cool piece of history. Now to find out if I can get it in 6mm. link |

Reminds me of something that GZG makes… |

Not really a T-10! Nobody makes one, because there was only the prototype. I've fondled it, though… |

I've fondled it, though… Is that legal? |

Our party bought enough of the Kubinka director's uniform items that no act would have been illegal. |

I wonder why they call it the T-10 – AFAIK, the T-10 was the former IS-10 commissioned in 1952, and a completely different vehicle, in essence a moderately improved successor design to the IS-3 and IS-4… I´ve never seen the Object 279 referred to differently than "Object 279" or "Troyanov´s Supertank". |

Probably for the same reasons that journalists, the world around, call anything with tracks that's not clearly identifiable as a bulldozer, a 'tank'. Article was from Pravda wasn't it? |

I was surprised that the OP couldn't find a 6mm T-10 either until I realised the vehicle in question wasn't actually a T-10. |

Sure, but what a weird shape for the hull. And quad tracks… |

Wow, what a shot trap for the running gear! |

Probably for the same reasons that journalists, the world around, call anything with tracks that's not clearly identifiable as a bulldozer, a 'tank'. You overestimate their acumen.
They regularly call wheeled vehicles "tanks".
